PROFESSOR LU YONGXIANG Born 1942 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province PROFESSOR LU YONGXIANG Born 1942 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China, Professor Lu graduated from Zhejiang University in 1964, and, after working as a researcher at Zhejiang, obtained his Doctorate of Engineering at the Rheinisch-Westfälischen Hochschule Aachen (the Aachen University of Technology), Germany in 1981. Over the past 35 years, Professor Lu has made most important contributions in the area of mechanical and control engineering, especially in the fields of fluid power transmission and control, and to higher engineering education. He has owned eighteen patents, published over 280 technical papers, six scientific books, and has been invited to deliver dozens of keynote speeches or presentations. In the 1980s, Professor Lu undertook remarkable research into electro-hydraulic proportional components and systems, and invented a series of fluid power control- cartridge components and many practical applications. His research work was included into many technical handbooks and textbooks for postgraduate students in China, Germany, Japan and Sweden. After a distinguished career as an academic at Zhejiang University, one of the top- ranked universities in China, he became its President in 1988-95. Professor Lu became a Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1991, rising to become its President in 1997. In structural terms, the Academy is akin to a combination of the Australian Academy of Science and the CSIRO, with five academic divisions – Mathematics and Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth Sciences, and Technological Sciences. It has 108 research institutes spread across China, and more than twenty supporting units, including the University of Science and Technology of China, one of the most prestigious universities in the country. In addition to his work with the Academy, Professor Lu is a member of the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong, and a member of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the equivalent body to the Australian Research Council. At a national level, earlier this year Professor Lu was elected to the Standing Committee of the 10th National People’s Congress. Professor Lu is one of the Vice- Chairmen of the Standing Committee, and as such is seen as one of the national leaders of the People’s Republic of China. He has been a member of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee for the past ten years. Among his many honours are the German awards of the Alexander von Humboldt Medal (1998); the Knight Commander's Cross (Badge and Star) (2000); and the Werner Heisenberg Medal (2001). He has received sixteen advanced Ministerial or Provincial Awards in China, and has twice been awarded the National Innovation Prize of China. .

Recruitment, organization and control of sufficient amounts of labour have been essential to keep the Asian economies and societies going. This series aims at looking into these dynamics in depth, acknowledging the wide-ranging variety of social trajectories including labour values and cultural connotations, ecological constraints and different degrees of market orientations. The series aims to be a meeting place between experts from a variety of disciplines; from linguistics to history and social sciences. The core ambition of the series is to explain different types of labour (share cropping, wage labour, slavery, casual or precarious labour) within a wider cultural, economic and ecological context. Topics such as guilds, circulation of labour, gender stratifications, religious and ethnic identities or modes of labour control are all relevant to this approach. Other topics may be balancing these more structural considerations by departing from the workers’ perspectives and their actions: ranging from collective action and daily resistance to life cycles and their relationship to labour. Geographically the series will cover the space from East

We examine whether the bionodes form sociocentric networks based on shared attributes (provincial origin, education, etc.).

  • Engaging with Socialism in China: the Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928
    Engaging with Socialism in China: The Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928 Xuduo Zhao PhD University of York History May 2019 1 Abstract This thesis investigates Chen Gongbo (1892-1946) and Tan Pingshan (1886-1956), two significant Cantonese Marxists who helped found the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. I use Chen and Tan as a lens to re-examine the dissemination of Marxism in May Fourth China and the underlying tensions in 1920s Chinese revolution. My study demonstrates that it was in the changing educational system in the early 20th century that Chen and Tan gradually improved their positions in the cultural field and participated in the intellectual ferment during the May Fourth period. At Peking University they became familiarised with Marxism. Their understanding of Marxism, however, was deeply influenced by European social democracy, as opposed to many other early communist leaders who believed in Bolshevism. This divergence finally led to the open conflict within the CCP between Guangzhou and Shanghai in the summer of 1922, which also embodied the different social identities among early Chinese Marxists. After the quarrel, Chen quit while Tan remained within the party. During the Nationalist Revolution, both Tan and Chen became senior leaders in the Kuomintang, but they had to face yet another identity crisis of whether to be a revolutionary or a politician. Meanwhile, they had to rethink the relationship between socialism and nationalism in their political propositions. This study of Chen and Tan’s political thought and activities in the late 1910s and 1920s offers a different picture of Chinese radicalism and revolution in the early Republican period.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Chronicle of Wu Zhengyi (Originally published in appendix one of The Autobiography of Wu Zhengyi ) 1916 I was born in Jiujiang, Jiangxi province on June 12 th of the lunar calendar. My first name “Zhengyi” was given by my grandfather, while I later styled myself “Bai Jian 1” and used the pseudonym “Bai Jian 2”. With the ancestral home of the Wu family in She county, Anhui province, I lived in Yangzhou with a registered hometown in Yizheng, Jiangsu province. 1917 Upon my “One-Year-Old Catch”, we moved back to Yangzhou in December because my grandfather Wu Junsun 1860-1917 died during his journey to assume an official position in Xunyang, Jiangxi province. 1922-24 From the age of four to six, my mother taught me how to read.

  • Experiments in the Recruitment of Chinese Political Elites Cheng Li
    Li, China Leadership Monitor, No. 26 From Selection to Election? Experiments in the Recruitment of Chinese Political Elites Cheng Li Are elections playing an important role in Chinese politics today? The simple answer is no. Is China gradually moving from selection to election in the recruitment of political elites? That is a more difficult question to answer. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is certainly unwilling to give up its monopoly on political power. Chinese leaders continue to claim, explicitly rather than implicitly, that the CCP is entitled to make all of the country’s most important personnel appointments. But since the late 1990s, especially in recent years, the Chinese authorities have experimented with some electoral methods in the selection and confirmation of Party and government officials at various levels of leadership. With a focus on both intra-Party elections and people’s congress elections, this article offers a preliminary assessment of elections in China—their significance, limitations, and impact on the Chinese political process. It is extremely unusual in China for candidates who are vying for elected posts to openly engage in campaigning, lobbying, public debates, personal attacks, and vote buying. 1 However, that is exactly what happened recently—not among political elites in Beijing but in a documentary film covering the election of student leaders at a primary school in Wuhan. In this newly released, award-winning film, Please Vote for Me (Qing wei wo toupiao), director Chen Weijun meticulously documented the entire two-week-long campaign and election process, featuring a trio of third-graders chosen by their teacher to run for the position of class monitor.2 The film revealed the motivations, behaviors, and various kinds of “dirty tactics” used by schoolkids in campaigning.
